The Croydon Council Cabinet met on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, to note the Executive Mayor's First 100 Days Plan and to approve the Executive Mayor's Business Plan for 2026-2030, recommending it to Full Council. The Cabinet also agreed to endorse and recommend the adoption of a new Conservation Areas Appraisal and Management Plan for the Webb Estate and Upper Woodcote Village, and approved a Temporary Accommodation Charging Policy to improve financial sustainability.
Executive Mayor's 100 Day Plan and Business Plan Approved
The Cabinet noted the Executive Mayor's First 100 Days Plan and approved the Executive Mayor's Business Plan 2026-2030, recommending it to Full Council. The 100-Day Plan sets out immediate priorities and actions for the first 100 days of the Mayor's second term, focusing on visible improvements such as cleaner streets, safer neighbourhoods, and thriving district centres. The Business Plan outlines the Council's strategic direction and priorities for the next four years, aiming to restore pride in Croydon, attract investment, and create opportunities for residents. Both plans were endorsed, with authority delegated to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Executive Mayor, to make minor operational amendments.
Regina Road Redevelopment Project Update Noted
The Cabinet noted the progress update on the Regina Road Redevelopment Project. Significant milestones have been achieved, including the demolition of the first tower block, securing unanimous planning permission, appointing a main contractor, and commencing construction. Phase 1 of the project will deliver 225 affordable council homes, with Phase 2 proposing up to 115 additional homes for private sale.
Webb Estate and Upper Woodcote Village Conservation Areas Appraisal and Management Plan Adopted
The Cabinet agreed to endorse and recommend that Full Council adopts the updated Webb Estate and Upper Woodcote Village Conservation Areas Appraisal and Management Plan (CAAMP) as a Supplementary Planning Document. This updated plan replaces the 2007 version and provides comprehensive guidance for conserving and enhancing the special character of these conservation areas. Full Council will be asked to adopt the plan and revoke the previous document.
Stage 1 Recommendations Arising from Scrutiny Received
The Cabinet received recommendations from various sub-committees, including Homes, Streets & Environment, and Health & Social Care. A substantive response to these recommendations, in the form of a Scrutiny Stage 2 Report, will be provided at the Cabinet meeting on 22 July 2026. Councillor Alasdair Stewart declared an interest in the Streets and Environment Sub-Committee recommendations, with Councillor Robert Ward taking responsibility for those responses.
Housing Assurance Board Review Noted
The Cabinet noted the progress made by the Housing Assurance Board in driving improvements in housing services. The Board has been instrumental in strengthening governance, enhancing services for tenants and leaseholders, and preparing the Council for inspection by the Regulator of Social Housing. Authority was delegated to the Corporate Director of Housing to take necessary steps for this preparation.
Temporary Accommodation Charging Policy Approved
The Cabinet approved the Temporary Accommodation Charging Policy, which formalises the Council's approach to setting rents and service charges. This policy aims to establish a transparent and consistent framework aligned with legislation, bringing rents for Council-leased blocks at Concord, Sycamore, and Windsor (CSW) in line with current LHA rates. This change is expected to generate additional rental income, contributing to addressing budget pressures and ensuring the sustainability of the TA service. A detailed assessment of affected households indicated that 98% would see no financial impact due to Housing Benefit entitlement, with mitigation measures in place for the remaining households.
Commissioning Intentions and Market Position Statement Approved
The Cabinet approved the publication of Croydon Council's first joint Commissioning Intentions and Market Position Statement. This strategic document, developed collaboratively across Adult Social Care & Health, Children, Young People & Education, Housing, and Health, outlines current and future demand, service priorities, and market opportunities. It aims to foster a sustainable, diverse, and high-quality local housing, care, and support market, strengthening partnerships and promoting a person-centred approach. An accompanying action plan for 2026/27 was also approved.
